Public bug reported:
Report is for
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
Package data is
Package: systemd
Architecture: amd64
Version: 229-4ubuntu21.10
Multi-Arch: foreign
No log file is applicable
The problem is that systemctl enable does not perform according to
documentation in enabling template unit files.
If a template unit file exists
/full_path_to/tmpl@.service
and you try to enable it with systemctl per the docs
sudo systemctl enable /full_path_to/tmpl@instance.service
or
systemctl --user enable /full_path_to/tmpl@instance.service
you get the error
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
What should happen is that systemctl fails to find
/full_path_to/tmpl@instance.service so it then tries the template name
/full_path_to/tmpl@.service, finds it, and creates a symlink to that
template file.
** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
